Preparations for the 2019/2020 saw the Gunners play Angers in the Stade Raymond Kopa in France.
The game ended in a one-one draw before the North London based club overcame the Ligue Un outfit on penalty-shootouts.
Unai Emery fielded a lot of teenagers in the squad that faced Angers as most of the first team players were rested ahead of the first Premier League game against Newcastle United.
The likes of Tyreece John-Jules, Robbie Burton, Zech Medley and new signing, Gabriel Martinelli all were handed a start in the game.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Mkhitaryan, Granit Xhaka and Sokratis were all introduced in the second half of the match.
Farid El Melali gave the French club an early advantage in the 13th minute of the game.
Reiss Nelson in the 50th minute gave Arsenal the equalizer to send the game to a penalty shootout.
Aubameyang had a goal ruled out for offside and also fired a golden chance way over the bar as the game went to spot-kicks to decide the outcome.
Both sides were faultless from 12 yards for the first seven penalties before an Angers miss was followed by Mkhitaryan blazing his effort over the bar.
But former Arsenal man Jeff Raine-Adelaide saw his effort saved by Emiliano Martinez low to his right to give Arsenal the victory.
